A member asked:
Is it possible that delaying disc replacement surgery cause me to become crippled?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: There is no research that shows that neck arthritis will cause you to become crippled. You may have bad enough arthritis that you decrease your activity to accommodate the pain.
